You are correct and I must. It's just that I am bogged down with copy and paste at the moment. I am still six months behind. My migration is complicated by the fact that my backup is 1 and a half years old. However, I will prevail

RE 4: If I simply remove the profile id (which I just did) is all well? AND how do I determine the number of items that will display. This is important because as I sell more ads in the left column I want to be able to ensure that content scrolls as far as ads.

The problem here is that for master, admin, power and multiple profile users, their "profile_id" is NOT set when viewing a skin page, so the system would not know which profile to post to. When creating items the user needs to be ON the profile they want the item created for - that's very low level in Jamroom and how it works.

Also....would it be possible to include a status update field in the activity timeline widget so that people can update directly from the front page (assuming that the timeline activity widget is displayed there). I have it on the front page of my new JR site but I feel it would be much more convenient if people could update directly from there without having to go back to their home or profile pages.

OK I guess that will work because people arrive on their profile pages as soon as they log in.
I think that it it is vitally important to make posting as easy and attractive as possible so I was wondering the following:-
1. How can I make the Timeline view the default landing page on all profiles?
2. How can I get the share buttons (I am using the share this code) to display on the Timeline Activity profile page view? Just cannot seem to find the right template or template position. I have included a screenshot of where I would like to put them Please excuse my lack of expertise with the GIMP text tool
3. Is it possible to provide tooltips which will make it plain to people that posting on their profile page will also appear on the site home page?
4. Does the following code display ALL site activity?
{jrCore_list module="jrAction" profile_id=$_profile_id order_by="_item_id numerical_desc"}p.s. The screenshot below is how I would like member profile pages to look (default view) when they login, together with share buttons and a tooltip if poss explaining that they can post whatever they like here including pics, vids etc and that whatever is posted will appear on the site home page. Hope I've explained that ok.

If you're referring to the 140 character limit for status updates this can be configured in the module settings

Many thanks....Why didn't I think to look there?? I have become so engrossed in fiddling with templates that I forgot the obvious
I note also that I can enable the editor for status updates which is perfect. I upped the character limit to 1000 so that people can post mini blog posts to the timeline. Which is exactly what I wanted and a vast improvement on Ning 3 which, despite giving me the option in the dashboard, would never allow me to increase character limits beyond 140. This I suspect, is a bug in Ning 3, but not one they intend to fix anytime soon

OK great...I just put that to the test and you're absolutely right. Status updates are not truncated. In which case I still have two questions:-
Is it possible to remove this line:- "characters left: 140" altogether from profile page status update boxes? I feel that some people will be discouraged from posting if they think they are limited to 140 characters. Many of my members are not active on twitter for that very reason.

Would it be possible to increase the 140 character limit and include a 'status update' box in the activity timeline module? I am thinking that these features would be particularly useful on my new home page:- http://americymrunet.jamroomhosting.com/
Also in the Comments module would it be possible to include a link to the page or module item that the original comment was posted on? At the moment there is a link to the user profile BUT if someone wants to reply to the comment (for which there is also a link) they don't necessarily know what page or item was originally being commented on.

'Share This' at top of Page

Many thanks....I went for option B
With a bit of tweaking it now works perfectly on all top level nav pages.Just two small points:-
In the documentation could you specify what the item id number should be or explain its significance?
Can you tell me which template I should add the luv button code to so it appears on group index pages? Cant seem to find that anywhere.
Other than that I'm going to mark this discussion closed. Jamroom scores again
